Rain Forces MLB Doubleheaders for Saturday

The series opener between the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field was postponed due to rain, resulting in a split doubleheader scheduled for Saturday at 1:10 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. Fans with tickets for Friday's game can attend the first game of the doubleheader or utilize ticket exchange options if unable to attend. The doubleheader will also mark Red Sox manager Alex Cora's 1,000th game, making him the fifth manager in franchise history to reach this milestone. Scheduled starters are Tanner Houck and Ben Lively in Game 1, with Walker Buehler facing Logan Allen in Game 2. The Detroit Tigers' home game against the Baltimore Orioles was also postponed due to inclement weather, with a Saturday doubleheader set as a makeup. Both teams aim to improve their standings after these weather-related scheduling changes.
